An internal compressor is located in the right leg of the manikin. It is recommended to use an external source of compressed air
whenever the manikin is stationary over extended periods of use.
If the manikin is required to exhale CO
2
with each ventilation - connect external CO
2
.
Connect CO
2
only if the manikin is required to exhale CO
2
with each ventilation. Exhaled CO

can be detected with a real capnographic
device.
